He's Home!

We've been waiting for this day for ten long months! Bart's sister, Brett's husband, Greg, has returned from Afghanistan.

Just more than a year ago, they were married and, in July, he boarded a plane to serve our country.

We drove in caravan to Ft. Riley last Thursday to attend his Welcome Home Ceremony. While we waited his granddaughter, Maddox unknowingly entertained us.

Ft. Riley is ginormous. We took a bit of an impromptu tour because we were lost! We circled around and finally found the building, #88312, parked and entered. They had ample seating and two huge screens, where at first they were showing ESPN...ha! As the time of the ceremony approached, the show changed to photo montages of the troops in Afghanistan. Right at 4:00 p.m. the solders were announced and entered the room.

About Me

Hi, my name is Jenny and I'm a city girl living in the country, because I think I was born to be a country girl. My favorite things include my husband, my three boys, dirt, sunsets, my animals, vegetables - especially tomatoes and blackberries. Although I do need a city fix every so often, where I wander among the stores, visit a museum or eat at a new restaurant. Thanks for stopping by.
